The band reformed in 2011. <em>Enter The Metal<\/em> was produced by Julius Butty. Varga has a sound that is kind of a mix of Anvil meets Fear Factory. <em>Enter The Metal<\/em> has a definite thrash sound that dances on the line of industrial. <\/p>\n<p>The album has great song titles with heavy thrash riffs that leap right out to you. Varga\u2019s music is all about the timing. Every songs experiences different time changes throughout the entire album. Opening track \u201cBeginning Of The End\u201d begins with the furious drum rolls and unleashes the fury of the raging guitars. The song \u201cMad Scientist\u201d sounds like it is right out of a monster movie with its scary mood, guitar riffs and special effects. <\/p>\n<p>Highlight of the album include \u201cNo More Clean Air.\u201d This is classic thrash. The final track \u201cShark Attack\u201d would be a great soundtrack for the movie <em>Sharknado<\/em> with its acoustic beginning, as the song goes through different stages and flairs into intense thrash metal. <\/p>\n<p>If you like your music heavy with uptempo guitar changes and raging drums, this album is for you. <\/p>\n<p>Genre: Thrash Metal<\/p>\n<p>Band:<br \/>\nJoe Varga \u2013 Bass and Vocals<br \/>\nSean Williamson \u2013 Guitar<br \/>\nAdam Alex \u2013 Guitar<br \/>\nDan Fila \u2013 Drums<\/p>\n<p>Track Listing:<br \/>\nBeginning Of The End<br \/>\nGamera<br \/>\nMad Scientist<br \/>\nPlane Crash<br \/>\nNo More Clean Air<br \/>\nShark Attack <\/p>\n<p>Label: Vargantuan Music<\/p>\n<p>Website: http:\/\/www.varghq.com\/   <\/p>\n<p>Hardrock Haven Rating 7\/10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">by Deb Rao &#8211; Senior Columnist &#8212; Canadian rock band Varga returns to the rock scene with their latest release Enter The Metal.
